I just finished my headliner last night, just to give you an idea of what it will look like
BEFORE
AFTER
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE iTTTT!!!! That is how im planning to do mine except ill be doing diamonds inplace of squares. How did you do yours and did you use foam or cotton... Did you have a professional make it or did you? Looks great and now im definitely going to do mine this week.
They are diamonds..can't really tell from the picture. USE FOAM!!! I used cotton first and it looked hideous. So I took it 2 a professional and he told me to use foam. Looked much better
I gotta say its much thicker than before and now that its black it really makes the interior feel smaller. But I'm still happy with the way it came out
although theose airbags are like shotgun blasts with a pillow case over it
actually your quite right. my engineering design professor mentioned that his first job after undergrad was working for a company that was pioneering air bag technology. essentially they used a black powder in a large pill like plastic container. once the powder exploded, the gases were pushed through a filter to capture contaminants and into the air bag it's self. he said when they were designing the passenger side air bag, they simply scaled the charge up proportionally to the volume of the drivers side air bag. long story short, he way over estimated the required charge and basically catastrophically demolished their test rig.

oops
Haha that's cool. My high school auto shop teacher used to get old ones and we would put them in the vice and bench fire them for fun. I still wonder if it has the power to tear the fabric on the dash. The plastic on ur steering wheel and dash is pre-scored so it blows easy. If anything I bet it pull all the fabric up instead on tearing in the center.
